Everything was brilliant! The facilities are top class, the staff impeccably polite and well trained. Food and drink great. The team could not do enough to make sure our stay was a wonderful experience, incl organising room decoration, drinks and treats for my husband’s birthday.

Not 5 stars

It is not a 5 star resort so read all the reviews on all platforms & make your choices. The price to stay at this hotel is over inflated with the only plus point being the size of the pool that the resort has in comparison to the other hotels in that vicinity. The staff is the saving grace of this resort. If you are not a meat eater then you will struggle to find anything to eat. Signs for the food do not indicate correctly if you pick up an item that is vegetarian.

Beautiful hotel with an elegant vibe - if you pay extra for Level Lounge access. Otherwise you’re in a huge pool with 1,000 screaming children. However! If you are bringing children they are fantastically well catered for. As a couple I would recommend the Level for some peace and serenity. The hotel is not really near anything so hire a ca

The hotel itself is beautiful, with stunning interiors and a generally welcoming atmosphere. The staff seemed friendly throughout our stay, which added to the overall experience. However, there were a few downsides. The food at the Mekado restaurant—which is the main option included in the all-inclusive package—was consistently cold. This applied across breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At one point, they brought out a fresh batch of pancakes, and even those were cold (???). We concluded Albanians liked cold food and this was their norm. Housekeeping was another area that could use improvement. While I understand cleaners aren’t expected to tidy up personal belongings, basic cleaning was lacking. The bed would be made and towels replaced, but surfaces weren’t wiped, and floors didn’t appear to be cleaned. I had left a bracelet on the floor, and it was still there when we returned later that day. You’d only know they had been in your room because of the new towels, which was quite odd. Also worth noting: the location is very remote. Most places are about an hour’s drive away, so it’s not ideal if you’re hoping to explore the area easily. Overall, it’s a beautiful hotel with friendly staff, but some key areas—especially the food and cleanliness—definitely need improvement.
